Hi,i'm trying to interface stellarium and an Arduino based telescope motor through the Telescope plugin using the meade lx200 protocol as described here-->http://www.meade.com/support/LX200CommandSet.pdf.I have successfully answered to the getRA command but the getDEC command gives me problems:in fact in the protocol documentation it says that i have to send back the value of the Declination as

I tried everything and i think there is only one chance more, to try connecting the telescope to arduino IDE and through the serial monitor send #:GD# and see exactly what it gets.If somebody with that mount could try it, it would be very appreciate. XD XD

Actually if you look at the length of the string you'll see the RA is sent as 11 characters, but there are only 9 printable ones, so I think it's almost certainly adding 0x0D,0x0A (CRLF) - both of which are separately echoed as blank lines in the log in fact...

langauge is spanish. he is stating the page will be used for documentation and the steps he will take to development the code for his goto mount via Arduino Uno andUSB motor Shield using stepper motors
